So you’ve just got engaged! It’s now time for the excitement to begin. You’ve got a wedding to plan! At this point you’ve probably got a lot of questions running through your mind. Where do you begin? What questions should I ask vendors? Where am I going to get the money? Wait, how much money are we talking about? On the contrary to what most couples believe, wedding planning can actually be fun. With proper planning and allocated time to complete it you can create your truly unique and exciting Chicago Wedding reception.

When it comes to the entertainment portion of your reception this should be treated with care as with all your other very important wedding details. The entertainment seems to be one of, if not the most important components to a reception. Sure, the food, decorations, and socialization are very important but without entertainment, these events would take on an entirely different personality.

For affairs that are focuses around the entertainment, or at least ones where it is responsible for a major role in the success or failure of the event, some serious considerations must be taken when hiring the right entertainment.

Will you find the right entertainment by hiring the one that answers the phone first or the one that has the lowest price or would you select one just because they live in your hometown? These are actually several things you should consider before selecting your entertainer:



Is the entertainer experienced in providing services for your event type? This question can’t just be answered in a yes or no question either. You’ll want someone who knows the ropes. How much experience do you want your entertainer to have? Consider getting a list of references from previous clients.

Who will actually be the entertainer at your event? Often times with larger multi-operational companies you won’t actually know who your entertainer is until that night. Is this something you’re willing to accept? Always ask this question when shopping for entertainment and make sure it’s laid out clear and concise in your contract.

What type of equipment do you deserve to have at your event? Imagine not being able to understand announcements or even worse hearing a hiss or buzz during your event. Imagine having part of your beautifully decorated event contain an eyesore of wires and beat up equipment. Another important face is just because an entertainer charges top dollar doesn’t always mean they’ll bring top dollar equipment to your event. Getting a picture of their setup is a must!

What additional services are included other than just playing music? Will you need a master of ceremonies (emcee) at your event, a coordinator, or even someone to interact and participate with your crowd? Is your entertainer willing to step up to the plate and deliver those services? These can be important things to ask before your event. You’d hate to hire an entertainer who can’t entertain.

Is your entertainer and elegant public speaker? Do they speak in complete sentences without stuttering and using um and uh? Public speaking is said to be one of the number one fears in the United States. If someone isn’t good at speaking in person odds are they won’t be able to speak in front of your crowd. This is a very important aspect of the entertainer can be over looked.

Is backup equipment provided and immediately available? As you know all electronics are man-made and with all man-made products they can fail. So it’s important that your entertainer have not only backup equipment but also a backup plan. Ask your entertainer for their backup plan.

What happens if the entertainer is ill or otherwise cannot attend your event? These details should be laid out in a written contract form with EVERY service provider. Always lay these things out prior to your event to prevent any situations later on.

Is your entertainer insured? Every legitimate business has insurance. This may not seem important upfront, but heaven forbid something were to happen at your event. Are you willing to hire an entertainer without it? Ask your entertainer for his proof of property AND liability insurance.

Are there any hidden additional charges or expected necessities from your entertainer? For example, are you required to pay a service charge for stairs at the reception hall? Or are you required to pay for their dinner? Will they need to take smoke breaks? If you’re entertainer doesn’t cover these issues in their sales pitch perhaps you should ask them.

How much input will you be able to give on your music selection? This can also be a very important question when you’re shopping for entertainment. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences when it comes to music. Will your entertainer be able to cater to those tastes or will they stick to their own routine. Also does your entertainer offer online music planning?



With so much riding on the success of your event your entertainment should never be over looked. There should be several factors that come into play rather than just price when shopping for your wedding entertainment. Don’t ever be afraid to ask questions as the entertainment will have a direct impact on the entire success of your reception.

Have you ever dreamt about getting an exclusive credit card with which you can pay for everything without worrying about your balance? If you have, then, an entertainment credit card will make your dream come true! You will get a credit card that has absolutely no limit and offers you benefits and perks other card users can only dream of!

If you have decided to get one you have to know that entertainment cards differ a lot from most credit cards used by regular customers and that’s why they are some of the most difficult to get. If you want to apply for this card, you should be aware that you must have an impeccable history of credit card use. Your purchasing power and past credit use will be also checked very carefully. So, these credit card applications are quite challenging!

You have probably heard that entertaining credit cards are available to only selected group of people and are typically reserved for high earners; I should admit that it is true.

Usually people who earn more than 100.000$ per year are qualified to get one. And it is quite reasonable, because if you have an entertainment credit card, you have to follow very strict rules and regulations, like paying balance in full during 30-60 days, if you don’t do so, you will incur large fees on your account.

Your account will be cancelled in case of failure to pay balance in full regardless of balance amounts. To be honest, I used to have an entertainment card. Once I had some financial problems due to one awful situation that happened at work. As a result I was not able to pay balance and my account was cancelled. Unfortunately, I will never be able to have this kind of credit card again. As you see the accounts have to be always kept in order. That’s why you should earn a lot to afford to pay back charges.

Fortunately, large purchases may be given an extension that can be paid out during a few months. For example, charges that are connected with traveling can be paid in 36 months.

I also have to point out that the interest rate of entertainment credit cards is rather high, it is usually between nineteen and twenty percent.

You will probably wonder why people want to have the entertainment credit cards, then. Is it just a sign of high financial status or something else? There is no doubt that it is very prestigious to be an entertainment credit card owner, but there is much more than that.

First of all, most entertainment credit cards have no credit limit, therefore account holders make large charges for any event at any time, without worrying about a credit limit. If you have an entertainment credit card you should never worry about carrying cash on you or going to bank to cash checks, which is really comfortable.

Last year my friend Michael (who is the lucky guy, because he has this card) had a big birthday party. It was unbelievable! He invited more than two hundred guests on a huge black yacht that he rented. There were all kinds of things: entertainment, fireworks, loads of food and drinks. I was amazed! Sure enough his method of payment was not cash (believe me the party was very expensive); it was his privileged entertainment card!

The other advantage of entertainment cards -is their buying power. It is better than Regular Visa or Master Card even though they are not so widely accepted. As I have noticed before, the entertainment credit cards offer great perks and benefits like insurance and cash advance.

Now you can see that entertainment cards are not all about prestige, they are really the best cards one can get. So, if you want to make your dreams come true, go for it, because entertainment credit cards are something to aim for!
